FUELING
ENGINE
This engine is certified to operate on uateeded
gasoline.
Before operation, ga_asoiinemust be
mixed with a good quality 2-cyble air-coefed
engine
oil. We recommend
Poulan
PRO_;
brand oil. if you do not use this oil, use a good
quality
2-cycle aircooled
oil designed
to be
mixedataratioef40:l.
A40:f
ratioisobtained
by mixing 3+2 onces
of oil with
1 gallon of
unleaded gasoline.
Included with this saw is a
3.2 ounce
container
of Poulan/Weed
Eater
brand
oil.
Pour the entire contents
of this
container
into 1 gallon of gasoline
to achieve
the proper fuel mixture.
DO NOT USE automotive
or peat oil. These
oils will cause engine damage.
When mixing
fuel
follow
the
instructions
printed
on the
container.
Always read and follow the safety
rules
listed
under
HANDLE
FUEL
WITH
CAUTION.
BAR AND
CHAIN
LUBRICATION
The bar and chain require continuous
lubrica-
tion. Lubrication
is provided by the automatic
oiler system when the oil tank is kept filled.
Lack of oil will quickly ruin the bar and chain.
Too little oil will cause overheating_shown
by
smoke coming from the chain and/or discolor-
ation of the bar.
In freezing weather oil will thicken,
making
it
necessary
to thin bar and chain oil with a small
amoun_
(5 to 10%)
of #1
Diesel
Fuel
or
kerosene.
Bar and chain
<:41must be free
flowthg for the oil system to pump enough oil for
adequate lubrication.
Genuine
Poulan or Poulan
PRO_;
bar and
chain oil is recommended
to protect your unit
against excessive
wear from heat and friction.
Poulan
or Poulan
PRO_;
<:41resists
high
temperature
thinning.
If Poulan
or
Poulan
PRO_; bar and chain oil is not available, use a
good grade SAE 30 oil.
• Never use waste oil for bar and chain lubri-
cation.
• Always stop the engine before removing the
oil cap.
IMPORTANT
Experience
indicates
that
alcohol-blended
fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or meth-
anol) can attract moisture which leads to sepa-
ration and formation of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an
engine while in storage. To avoid engine prob+
lems, the fuel system should be emptied before
storage for 30 days or longer.
Drain the gas
tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel
lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel
next season. See STORAGE section for addi-
tional information.
